i think a better way to keep the IM cool is to use a phenolic (sp?) spacer. There is a thread about one made by hondata.

here it is:

I've not heard of it being done. It'd be bad if it flaked.

ceramic coating rarely flakes i have my 2g mani, turbo houseing and o2 houseing all ceramic coated and i noticed a lower under hood temp.. its really durable stuff ive had it on for over a year and it still hasnt flaked or chipped or cracked ect...

highly doubtfull. You just don't get enough energy transfer from the underhood air. You are better off going with a spacer as mentioned above.

If you are serious and running a sub ambient air/water intercooler then maybe. But if you arn't you are probably loosing energy from the intake charge with a spacer. Intercoolers rarely get you anywhere near ambient...150F is more likely under boost.
